During the recent international climate talks in Bonn,
Environment China partnered with chinadialogue to produce an
episode on China’s Belt and Road in the context of the climate
conference.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative, an overseas investment and
development framework that has grown to include 68 countries, has
taken centre stage in the discussion about how to direct
investments away from carbon-intensive industries to clean and
sustainable technologies. In this episode, representatives from
non-governmental organisations and government officials from the
Philippines, Pakistan, and Zambia, weigh in on what the Belt and
Road means for climate action overseas.

The episode then turns to Sam Geall, executive editor at
chinadialogue, to learn how China’s Belt and Road Initiative, as
well as South-South Climate Cooperation, fit into its emerging role
on the international climate stage. Sam discusses how China can
improve its approach to overseas finance to bring investments in
line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
